About

The Cronut…

I happened to be listening to Roland’s Food Court on SiriusXM. It’s an occasional show on Saturday nights on The Opie and Anthony Channel. One of his guests happened to be Dominique Ansel. Up until this point I vacillated between desperately needing to get my hands on The Cronut and not caring one iota about…

I LOVE cheese.

There. I said it. We all know it. I LOVE cheese. It’s rare that we don’t have some sort of cheese in our house. Most recently is three of my favorites: Tarentaise, Cocoa Cardona, and Cacio di Bosco al Tartufo. The last one is my absolute favorite, with truffle throughout. The Boyfriend Chef served them…

On to 2013!

I’m so over the New Year’s Resolution thing. I have been for quite some time. But one needs to have goals in life, yes? So I have set a goal of a post a week and I’m hoping I can stick to it. Whether it’s a quick note about my new favorite find, a recipe…

Cheeburger Blandburger

In hopes of finding another really good burger joint and avoiding the traffic near Bobby’s Burger Palace in Eatontown, we decided to give Cheeburger Cheeburger in Holmdel a try. It was a Monday night so I didn’t expect them to be too busy and they had a decent crowd. When we walked in we were…

Blue Moon Cafe, Baltimore

We had our days & nights in Baltimore planned but we hadn’t done any research on breakfast. We passed Miss Shirley’s and the name alone sounded tempting. After reading some reviews it seemed that it could be hit or miss so I decided we’d pass. I did a little more searching and came across Blue…

The Buttered Biscuit…as awesome as it sounds!

I first happened upon The Buttered Biscuit by chance. I stopped by the Bradley Beach fire house to visit a friend who was participating in a craft fair. She happened to have a biscuit and let me try a bit. WOW. It was a tiny bite of buttery goodness and I was hooked. Later I…

A Summer Sunday in Monmouth County

While we had hoped to discover some new dining destinations the day turned out to be an epic failure. If you are in the industry, thinking of entering the industry, or considering buying a bar or restaurant, here’s what you need to be aware of: Use salt when cooking. It makes the food taste better. …

Now Eat This: Grilled Cheese

When I read the recipe I thought, “We have a toaster oven at work. I can totally broil this for lunch!” And so it began. I found out at lunch the first day that our toaster oven does not have a sheet or drip tray of any sort. I was tentative about the cheese oozing…

Colt’s Neck Inn

In my quest to take full advantage of Jersey Shore Restaurant Week I’ve been recruiting dining companions. My brother took me up on my offer and filled my Friday night dinner slot. We settled on Colt’s Neck Inn because it’s conveniently located for both of us and the menu was posted on the JSRW site.…

Spring Kick-Off Party

Thursday night was the kick off party. This was my first and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I purchased a VIP ticket for the gift bag but also to avoid the crowd. I arrived early but had to wait for 6:00 as the registration wasn’t completely set up. For me, the VIP gift bag…
